Gabriella led the heroes towards the main hall. Aiden had pulled Abbie to the back of the group in order to ask her some questions. He was not the only one who was wondering why Abbie appeared in Edea. Even the candidates back at the headquarters were surprised at the sudden turn of events.

Fifteen minutes ago...
Alice had just chosen the kingdom of Romania when Abbie's I-Foam rang. The chubby girl checked who the caller was and saw the name "Bitch" on the screen of her mobile phone. She pressed the accept button.

"Excuse me?" Abbie replied. "Why would I be in Edea? Stop talking nonsense. Don't you know that there are still two weeks remaining before Alex is revived?"
